Feolumaer the Priest

Feolumaer the Priest was an Anglo-Saxon Catholic priest from Winchester, Wessex. In 878, during Guthrum's attack on Winchester, he slaughtered almost all of the priests, but he found Feolumaer holding a crucifix and telling Guthrum not to approach him. Guthrum cut his finger off and told him that he was now his God; when he asked Feolumaer if he should show mercy, Feolumaer pleaded to be spared, and Guthrum told him to go in peace.
